    It blows my mind that people are clamoring for a stronger federal government a mere 3 years after trump left office and demonstrated why that’s a horrible idea

      Yeah, when I talk to people about politics, mainly online, it seems like everyone is reciting things theyv heard/read without critical thinking.

      Giving all the power to people that line up with your beliefs in office sounds nice, until they ban abortions and have gun classes for kindergarteners next election.

      We need checks and balances to work, and local => state => federal is a real important part of that. I 100% believe we should be taking as much power back from the federal government as possible, while still staying the United States. They hoarded power and turned that shit into a reality show

        It’s especially surprising on this topic. If the federal government had complete control like they’re advocating, cannabis wouldn’t be legal anywhere. Not even medical.
